What They Know

• Studied the alien ruins and ecosystem on Ilus firsthand — nearly died when protomolecule artifacts activated the planet's ancient defenses
• The Ring Builder civilization was destroyed by an unknown entity that exists in the spaces between gates — something that eats consciousness
• Protomolecule is construction equipment, not a weapon — it builds ring gates by repurposing local matter including biological organisms
• Duarte's protomolecule injection is slowly transforming him into something no longer fully human — the long-term effects are unpredictable
• The ring gates have a transit capacity limit — too many ships passing through too quickly triggers the dark entities that killed the Ring Builders
• Laconia's repair drones can resurrect dead organisms but the results are not truly alive in any conventional sense
• Married to Fayez Sarkis, who keeps her grounded with humor when the science gets terrifying
• Serves as head of Laconian science division — has access Duarte trusts no military officer with
